I first became a caregiver when one of my friend's mother was dying of cancer. The family wanted to keep her at home and my schedule was flexible enough that I could help out. I later took care of both my In Laws and my Father towards the end of their lives when they needed help. I later took care of a person with memory disorder and after two and a half years she was able to function by herself with the help of a part time payee to manage her bills. I took care of an 89 year old women and got her active in her church again, involved with games,walking and interested in living again. I am a born nurturer,a chef by trade as well as familiar with special needs diets. I keep a clean pleasant house, provide good nutrition,companionship, and try to give the best possible life experiences to my clients. I am an avid reader, like natural exercises, enjoy the outdoors, card games,board games, puzzles and am open to new challenges.
